West Virginia Court-Ordered Addiction Treatment Facilities

One thing that becomes very apparent about drug and alcohol addiction is that takes us or the people we love to dangerous and undignified places, including the courtroom or jail cell. While it can be very easy to despair and lament the legal troubles that we experience related to our SUD, the reality is they can be a blessing in disguise. Court-ordered alcohol and drug rehab programs allow eligible, nonviolent, low-level offenders to receive treatment over incarceration so they can get their lives back on track and not have to face costly or protracted legal proceedings that can result in lengthy prison sentences.

A resident may be required to attend one of West Virginia’s court-ordered alcohol and drug rehab centers for crimes like simple possession, DUI, nonviolent domestic disputes, property damage due to intoxication, and more. These programs are usually outpatient; however, they may be administered in a residential paradigm in more extreme circumstances. Court-ordered alcohol and drug rehab centers usually offer group therapy, individualized counseling, and more. They may also offer supplemental therapies like art and music therapy, creative writing, family therapy, and others. Court-ordered rehab is a prime alternative to jail time. Programs are paid for by patients.
